I maintain Exe GNU/Linux (Debian with TDE) and help also with Refracta (xfce) live images. I can't answer your specific questions. However if you need any help with, e.g. hd/usb installers, master/remaster scripts, TDE-specific live-config scripts, bloat reduction strategies etc.., feel free to ask. Such scripts already exist for Debian, are tested and working and are GPL. David
